PA newspaper runs ad calling for assassination of Obama

The Warren Pennsylvania Times-Observer (www.timesobserver.com) published an ad today calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama.

The text of the small classified ad reads, "May Obama follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!" There is no other text and it has no attribution. The ad may be viewed here http://morrillmajority.org/...

Keystone Progress called the Times-Observer for comment and got a return call from John T. Elchert, the paper's publisher. Mr. Elchert was extremely apologetic and wanted to make it clear that the ad did not reflect the paper's policy.

"It is unfortunate that it made it to press," said Elchert. "The person who took the ad didn't recognize the significance of the names. We cancelled the ad and turned the information over to the authorities."
Mr . Elchert said that he contacted the local police who were forwarding the information to federal authorities.
